The Serenity Prayer

god I'm right here grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change you prayed this prayer a lot I love this prayer it's a great prayer on my favorite prayers yeah top ten really good yeah I don't know if you really understand it oh I do I don't know that you could do oh I do I really do I understand the prayer yes yes okay that's pride and we'll deal with that later um but I want right now to just slow down and let's really think about what you're praying slow down okay hmm god grant me the serenity to accept the things that go on yeah do you even know what serenity is yes I know what serenity is yes it's the it's the act of serene II you know it's it's it's serene i t it's you know what he was a knight in King Arthur's Court he was he was certainty and and he was there and he was kind of the tranquil nice night you know and then one time Lancelot and King Arthur about to do fisticuffs over Guinevere you know and he was had enough but he just said serenity now so really now you know and everybody thought he was talking about himself but he was really just stating a philosophy of life which we now use in this prayer so hashtag serenity now [Applause] so you don't know what it means Neriah clue serenity it is the absence of chaos it is a hush a pause hmm a hush a pause I like that I want that for you I want that for me too good god grant serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change things I pause yes you've already negated the prayer how have I negate it the prayer because you're saying something you don't really mean no I do mean that I mean that no you don't yes I do you don't how think about it you are always in the mix of things constantly trying to direct manipulate Iraq manipulate I think we should use the word direct you cannot manipulate me listen I just want you to accept the simple fact that there are things in life that are beyond your control right thumbs to be honest with you god I think I I like being in the mix of things I like be in the middle of things even if I shouldn't I guess it gives me some significance and some sick twisted way and if I were to turn it all over to you I don't know what you're gonna do with it and I don't even know if you're gonna include me in it but I know I know I just need to trust you and there's just believe and trust that there's nothing that you would not give me that I could not handle know what yeah I never said that no but you said no I think it misquoted so much see what I said was that there will not be a temptation to overcome you that you can't handle as long as we're talking about this kind of stuff can I just tell you something when I close a door I don't open a window all right [Applause] that is just weird all right if I don't want you to go outside I'm not gonna give you another way to go outside all right listen this life sometimes it's really gonna be tough and there are gonna be things that come out you that you cannot bear but nothing will ever come at you that I cannot bear thank you I like this this does hush this pause god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the pause yes let's talk about those things that you can do something about my Holy Spirit has prompted you to do some things and you haven't done them okay in my defense all right if we were to look at all the things that I directly manipulate alright and then we see that the time that I have left it's not a lot I mean there are just things that I got to do in life just to get things done okay this has just been a really busy season of life that's that's an excuse okay well here's not an excuse all right your word says to get wisdom from other people and I'm gonna do my dreams in my visions that you want me to carry out and do I need to get wise counsel before I take a step of faith and do them okay but you're using that as an excuse it's not my fault that's an excuse I'm terrified that's it I'm just I'm just terrified I know what I've done I know the mess that I've made up my own life and I know what it's like to fall on my face and then and then to think that I'm gonna step out in the faith for you to even attempt to do one of those dreams for you and and to use the DNA that you've created inside me and take a step of faith I don't want to fail and I don't want to fall I have picked you up every time you've fallen every time and I will continue to pick you up I didn't give you a spirit of fear but a power of love and self-control I want you to live out of that I know I just need to let go and let me yes it's a really good phrase it is just so hard to do I know god I'm so afraid I don't want you to be afraid trust me hear me that's how we're gonna deal with your fear that's where you'll get your wisdom and wait on my timing don't get ahead of me and don't lag behind me but you wait on me that's when you're gonna mount up with wings and eagles and you are not gonna crawl through this life anymore but you're gonna start running my child you're going to run you're gonna run and you're not even gonna get tired because you're not running by your own strength you're running with my strength that's the way to truly live life and when you do that you know what I can do all things through you who gives me strength yes god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference living one day at a time and join one moment at a time I'm aren't you gonna do the whole aren't you gonna do the whole hush paws thing right here god no no you're starting to understand how precious life is sure I'm trying God ever since I said yes to you ever since realize what the cross is all about I'm so thankful I try to save her everyday every breath that I that I live on this earth and I'm so thankful for the yeses that you've given to it allowed me to have all the yeses thank you God for the yeses and god I'd be remiss not to thank you for the trials and the tribulations the times that I've fallen on my face all the time that just you've turned just beauty out of chaos God I've been missed not
